Ramona Quimby is six years old and finally going to the big school with her older sister, Beezus. Things are going to be great! However, big school doesn't go as great as she expected: her teacher doesn't like her, Susan copies her, and the whole class laughs at her on the first day of school! Plus, it doesn't help that Beezus is the perfect daughter. But things get even worse when she finally gets her own room and it turns out that she's scared of the dark! Can Ramona overcome her fear and survive first grade?
I found this book at my grandparents' house with my name written in my 8-year-old lopsided cursive inside the front cover. I loved the Ramona books as a kid and now I realize why--Ramona is a lot like I was. I really enjoyed rereading this and can't wait to dive back into the others.

My favorite part of this Ramona book happens when she gets extremely upset with her family and screams out "I'm going to say a bad word!" and proceeds to yell "GUTS! GUTS! GUTS!" Gotta love the mind of a kid.

Audio book with Stockard Channing is once again so lovely. I don't love this one quite as much as some others in the series, but it is still a fun romp.

A delightful book to listen to while driving with kids. We all enjoyed it. I think I'll start listening to books on tape more...great way to pass the time while at the wheel!

Beverly Cleary perfectly captures the joys & frustrations of being a child through her vibrant & memorable character, Ramona.

This is the first book I ever loved, and decades later reading it to my son still moved me to tears. Ramona is just…. everything.
